Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?

The dim streetlights cast a faint glow on the narrow streets of the township, making the shadows of the two appear somewhat lonely.

Wei Jia's steps were still a bit unsteady, having just come out of the clinic, and the discomfort in her body left her feeling weak.

Li Jing held her arm with a bit of force, subtly using his strength to help bear her weight.

The night breeze in the small town carried a touch of chill, blowing past the simple roadside shops and mottled walls, creating a soft whistling sound.

Li Jing occasionally turned his head to observe Wei Jia's face, worried she might not withstand the night's chill.

But Wei Jia remained composed and resilient, showing no sign of needing care.

The sound of their footsteps echoed on the silent streets, like the only melody in this impoverished township's night.

Most of the houses on both sides were dark, with occasional faint light highlighting the depth of night.

Li Jing tucked Wei Jia's hand into his pocket, warming her with his body heat, as they slowly walked towards the hotel.

Halfway there, Wei Jia finally spoke first amidst the night, "Are there no restaurants open around here at night?"

The town's night seemed especially quiet and dark, compared to the bright lights of Tianhai, this place seemed like another world.

"Why?"

Li Jing asked upon hearing her words, "Do you want to eat something?"

Wei Jia remained silent for a moment, then slightly nodded, "I threw up my dinner, want to eat something, perhaps I'll feel better."

Li Jing pondered for a moment, then said, "When we came by earlier I saw a shop open, I'll take you to check it out."

Soon, Li Jing led Wei Jia to a shop.

Wei Jia saw the barbecue stand at the entrance, slightly furrowing her brow, "I can't eat these spicy things right now..."

"I know, but I think this is the only place open."

Li Jing, holding Wei Jia's hand, walked into the shop, leaving a message, "You sit in here for a while," and then went into the kitchen alone.

Seeing this, Wei Jia furrowed her delicate brows, but out of trust in Li Jing, and with no other options, she still sat quietly inside, waiting.

She glanced back at the barbecue stand, luckily there were no customers now, so the grill wasn't fired up, otherwise the smoky smell would have been unbearable.

Li Jing spent nearly twenty minutes in the kitchen before coming out.

If not for Wei Jia wanting to warm herself inside, she might have already been unable to sit still.

But Li Jing took a bit longer than expected, just as Wei Jia was about to get up and check, she saw him coming out, carrying two steaming bowls.

"What's this?"

Wei Jia was curious, until Li Jing brought them closer, revealing the contents of the bowls.

"Egg custard and vegetable soup."

After placing the bowls down, Li Jing fetched two sets of cutlery from the back, sat back down, "The vegetable soup is rich in vitamins and minerals, easy to absorb when made into soup. You should be able to eat it. Egg custard is nutritious and easy to digest, won't irritate your stomach lining.

Besides, there's nothing else here really, just these two dishes for you."

Hearing this, Wei Jia looked at him in surprise, "This barbecue shop sells these?"

"No way they sell these at a barbecue shop."

Li Jing, while ladling soup for her, laughed, "I mentioned to the owner in the kitchen, gave him a hundred bucks, and then used his ingredients to make them for you."

"You made them?"

Wei Jia's eyes sparkled slightly, looking at Li Jing's calm and natural face, she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

She finally lowered her gaze, softly saying, "Thank you."

"Thank what? Isn't it natural to take care of my woman?"

Li Jing grinned, maintaining his charming and carefree demeanor, handed her the vegetable soup, and continued scooping egg custard into another small bowl for her.

This time, Wei Jia didn't retort, just obediently took the small bowl Li Jing offered, picked up the small spoon and ate slowly.

Li Jing made it very mild, just right for Wei Jia at the moment.

In about ten minutes, Wei Jia had eaten more than half of the vegetable soup and egg custard, seemingly quite satisfied with Li Jing's cooking skills.

"Full?"

Li Jing asked, seeing her gently nod, he wasted no time, swiftly finishing the remaining egg custard and vegetable soup.

He then wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, explaining with a smile, "Taste is good, no waste."

Seeing Li Jing eat up the leftover vegetable soup and egg custard without hesitation, Wei Jia was slightly taken aback, a nameless feeling stirred in her heart.

Li Jing noticed nothing, as Wei Jia's leftovers were all in the serving bowls, not in her small bowl, so he didn't consider them leftovers, thus having no psychological burden eating them.

Yet Wei Jia saw it differently; Li Jing's occasional carelessness and easygoing manner always illuminated him with a unique brightness.

"Let's go."

This time, after they got up, Wei Jia proactively reached out, clasping Li Jing's right hand with interlocked fingers, tucking it inside her coat.

Sensing Wei Jia's subtle change in attitude, Li Jing raised an eyebrow, said nothing, enjoyed the scent of her perfume, and continued accompanying her slowly towards the hotel.

…

Back at the hotel.

Li Jing escorted Wei Jia back to her room, preparing to leave, but was suddenly held tightly by her.

A hint of surprise flashed across Li Jing's face, he turned to look at her, teasing, "What's this, can't bear to see me go?"

Wei Jia's complexion was still somewhat weak, perhaps lacking the energy for banter, she remained silent for a moment before softly speaking, "Stay here tonight."

Hearing Wei Jia's invite, Li Jing was surprised, thinking of making a few jokes, but noticing her fatigue and weakness, he swallowed them back.

Instead, he said, "Alright. I'll listen to President Wei. Whatever President Wei arranges, I'll do."

Seeing Li Jing agree, Wei Jia sighed a little, then walked to the bed, slowly undressed, and lay down.

Though she said nothing more, Li Jing naturally understood her intent and removed his outer clothes to join her in bed.

Wei Jia gradually closed her eyes, feeling the warmth behind her, quietly said, "Hold me."

Li Jing obeyed, wondering why Wei Jia seemed exceptionally fragile at this moment, fragile enough to deter him from teasing her.

With Wei Jia silent, Li Jing embraced her, closed his eyes, quickly fell asleep due to the day's travel fatigue.

Soon after, Wei Jia's closed eyelids quivered slightly, noticing Li Jing truly asleep behind her, she felt slightly surprised.

She slowly turned, looking at the man sharing her bed, ripples stirred in her heart, thinking:

This guy didn't take advantage...

What kind of person are you?

Gazing at Li Jing's face for a long time, sleepiness overcame Wei Jia, she finally fell asleep in his arms.

Since she gained self-awareness, this was the first time she truly slept in someone's arms.

After tonight, she knew she had completely trusted this man before her.
